I don't know too much about ME profiles, but my opinion would be to start by treating the target platform as a full Java SE port and then look to add optional ME modules to the classlib. For example, port DRLVM to Windows Mobile on Xscale or ARM.
I've worked a little bit with IBM's WebSphere Micro Environment and it runs on the ME-type devices, like Windows Mobile, but it also runs on Windows XP/2003. Obviously this is the opposite scenario, but the concept is sharing the same VM with a subset class library. As for logging -- I agree with Tim, just don't do it. If we really want logging, then just use AspectJ or the like. AspectJ can do compile or runtime injection with the same aspects; at least it used to a few years ago. -Nathan On 10/31/06, Geir Magnusson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Yes, I assume that we'd branch and park 5 at some point, putting it into maintenance, and then just if there is a bug, deal with them on case by case back into main tree. But that's just version of SE mainline. There also is The Logging Topic That Will Not Die, as well as capabilities and profiles for ME (if someone wanted to do so), but I know almost zero about how that works in real life. geir > > > > -- > Mikhail Fursov
